Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

lets do a poll

This sounds reasonable imo.. I donīt see anything wrong about individual birthdays threads.. whatīs the big deal?

4) Lastly, again this is something that came up with other forums. This place is only a democracy in that we get to voice our thoughts, but any forum-changing suggestions are ultimately left to the owner and admin's discretion to implement.

Exactly.. thank you feather.

The decision to move the birthday threads was something I've wanted to do for a while, and six BD threads on the top of the forum was the kicker for me. We have had "new" members come out of the woodwork telling us that they don't post because this place is nothing but people talking about "the good 'ol days" and how intimidating it is to see a people talk about how long they've known each other or how well they know each other. I worry the birthday threads are preventing new members from posting because they don't know anybody here.

Besides, we have a "Community" forum. We should start using it

All a new member would have to do is type the words "happy birthday" in order to participate, but if this helps funnel members toward the community section then I guess it's a good idea. But what's General YY for then again? Tthe only reason member a is so concerned with new members posting is because he is dying to meet someone besides member b and member c who share his cooky ideas about politics and conspiracies.

I'd just be a little concerned that the one person calling out what's best for the community or GYY is the one person who's been the exact opposite of what most members think [ms] is all about and has been for as long as anyone can remember.

Yeah, birthday threads are inane, maybe even a little childish - but i'll take that any day over someone calling anyone who disagrees with them an asshole/moron or getting very personal and simply attacking people for a difference of opinion.

RM, where was your concern for the way [ms] was put together before the politics section closed ? Please tell.

Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

My decision had nothing to do with RM.

To be honest, I also think everyone calling RM out on me moving threads is childish. I moved the threads, not him.

Fair enough. But the 2 of you are still in the minority from what i've read today

Not childish at all, how would anyone know that you had a single birthday thread in mind all along?
RM started this thread and you've since agreed and done as he thinks.

No-one viewing the forum could know any different to that, could they?

Would this thread exist if Politics was still open i have to ask?

Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

I don't understand what is going on in this thread anymore.. Are you guys mad because you think Adam took my side? Let me remind you Pickle has suspended me numerous times. So if you are wondering if I'm his new favorite student grow up.

Yes politics is closed.. Not because of me. Bob why are you so mad at me? I thought we were cool for the most part?

Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

RM i'm not mad at you, have a little bit of self awareness though eh?

[runningman]

Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

K I'm not mad at you either... self awareness about what though? I'm not trying to hurt anyones feelings by taking away the Birthday threads. Just talking about this in this way makes me feel strange..

Bob's just being a conscientious objector.

Politics is not closed because of you? are you serious?

Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

Well I'm dissapointed with the merged bday thread. This may sound ultra lame but it was always really special to wake up on your birthday and see all of the well wishes and funny pics in your very own thread! I'll really miss that! Pickle, it was your decision to do it but you may have not if RM hadn't mentioned it. Way to go!

Re: Happy Birthday MS Users - Birthday Megathread

The threads still exist, and you can still post them... they're just in the Community forum instead of GYY.

.. self awareness about what though? .

Er.........


yourself??

If limiting spam and encouraging music discussion are on the agenda can i suggest a megathread in p&r for our friend Domio?

Cheers
